teams and times:
3:00 pm Thurs Oct 18 at
The new coach is Sherry
Conway, a former assistant
women's coach at Gettysburg
College (1977-1979). Conway
is originally from Titusville,
PA. She is a 1973 graduate of
Slippery Rock State College,
and was a health and physical
education instructor at Har
risburg's Bishop McDevitt
High School from 1973 to
1976.
Conway was also the var
sity women's basketball and
tennis coach at McDevitt. She
even found time to coach
hockey and track at Red Land
High School.
During her stay at Mc-
Devitt the women's basket
ball team became the league
champs with a record of 12
and 0. Similarly, the women's
team at Gettysburg went 14
and 3 for two seasons with
Conway's assistance. "That
was the winningest record
they ever had there," Conway
said.

next opponent is Syracuse,
with the game set for Giants
Stadium in New Jersey this

losses being to Ohio State and

said: "This is probably the

always had a desire to be the

level," she said. Conway is
quick to admit that, for now,
she's "a coach without a
team." But she hopes that
situation will change after
Monday's meeting.
Smitley said that he hopes
the team can play a 12- to 14-
game schedule this year,
made up of a mixture of two
and four- year colleges. Next
year, however, "I'd like to
drop Junior College playing,"
he said.
